{"product_id":"elephant-ear-halfmoon-betta","title":"Elephant Ear Halfmoon Betta","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Elephant Ear Halfmoon Betta (also commonly known as the Dumbo Halfmoon) is a highly sought-after variety of Betta splendens famous for its massive, fan-like pectoral fins that resemble elephant ears, paired with a stunning caudal fin that spreads into a perfect 180-degree half-circle. Due to their heavy, elaborate finnage, these fish are slower swimmers and require specialized care to stay healthy and thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Characteristics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Elephant Ears\": The pectoral fins are dramatically enlarged and often feature a contrasting color (typically solid white, pastel, or translucent) to the rest of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalfmoon Tail: When flared, the tail forms a crisp capital \"D\" shape with a true 180-degree spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarieties: They come in an array of patterns, including Lavender, Salamander, Mustard Gas, and Platinum White.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecific Care Requirements\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause their oversized fins create significant drag, Elephant Ear Halfmoons require minor adjustments compared to standard bettas:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTank Size: A minimum of 5 gallons is highly recommended to allow adequate territory while keeping the environment manageable for a slow swimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow Water Flow: You must use a gentle sponge filter or an adjustable filter on its lowest setting. Strong currents will quickly exhaust them and cause severe stress or fin nipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe Decor: Only use live or soft silk plants. Rigid plastic decorations will easily tear their fragile, sail-like fins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResting Spots: Provide broad-leafed plants (like Anubias) or a floating betta log near the surface. They need frequent resting spots to catch their breath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53417442410793,"sku":null,"price":26.5,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/4325\/2521\/files\/Untitled-design_20260810_195543_0000.png?v=1786377363","url":"https:\/\/jasminaquaticsstore.com\/ar\/products\/elephant-ear-halfmoon-betta","provider":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
